  2. Goals • Develop a demographic profile of Henderson County for the introductory section of the United Agenda for Children report. • Provide demographic and socio-economic data to the United Agenda for Children leadership group to identify a representative group of participants for the community forum in October.

  3. Sources of Data • All data were acquired from public access U.S. Census Bureau data: www.census.gov • Census 2000 • American Community Survey 2005 (ACS) • A new nationwide survey designed to provide communities with a fresh look at how they are changing. • Population Estimates 2006

  4. Census vs. Sample • Census – a count of all individuals in a chosen area. • Measures are true values. • Sample- selection of a representative group of individuals. • Estimates of measures are made based on the sample. All measures based on a sample will have an element of error (confidence intervals).

  5. Sample Data • American Community Survey 2005 • A sample of ~ 3 million households • Census 2000 • Data for certain characteristics (e.g. income) are based on a sample of the original census data. • Measures from sample must be interpreted with some caution.
